Iris Ann Hunter

Iris Ann Hunter is a bestselling author of a darker kind of romance. A tortured romantic at heart, she writes a twisted, psychological blend of dark romance, erotica, and suspense. Her books have been called beautiful and depraved, and range from tender to pitch black. Dominance and submission is a common theme and taboo is always fair game.

Before chasing a dream to be a writer, Iris worked with horses, then as a graphic designer. After testing the waters with a few erotic short stories, she fell deeper in love with dark romance and wrote her first novel, Tragic Beauty, which became an Amazon bestseller. When she’s not reading or writing, or wandering the dark recesses of her mind while questioning her sanity, you’ll likely find her riding

Sky Blu

Dear readers,
First of all, thank you so much for reading my book(s).
This is my pen name. I live in a rural part of the United States with a husband, our kid and a giant, goofy, crazy dog.

I worked in the sciences for about twenty years but writing dark romance/fiction was always my true calling.

Dark stories have occupied my mind since too young of an age. At first, I used to repress them or write them to throw them away but I slowly learned that wasn’t good for my mental health. Reading and writing dark stories is therapeutic for me. Writing them flushes the demons from my mind, and reading teaches me I’m not alone. I publish them because I know there are others like me, who need to explore the darkest corners of their minds. This does

Dylan Page

When Dylan was younger, she always had an aspiration to tell stories. But before she even knew how to write, she would draw them out. Her mother always encouraged her, and bought her piles of blank notebooks for her to draw out the stories she imagined in her head. Her dad encouraged her to use her words instead. Over the years, he pushed her into writing clubs and bought her notebooks so she could fill them with endless short stories.

When Dylan isn’t busy writing, or spending time with her two boys, she likes to play guitar, piano, and paint. Mind you she’s not good at it, but she likes it nonetheless!

Jay Marie

Jay Marie has been writing since she first learned the alphabet, but it wasn’t until 25 years later that she finally decided to take the deep plunge into the depths of publishing. Her written work conveys the darker side of writing, bringing in to light what most may shy away from. She has a passion for writing strong female characters with a brain that can override their sex drives, deliver one hell of a punch as well as take one. They have backbones made of steel and hearts that beat with a ferocity that refuses to be tamed or matched.

Her inspiration comes in the form of a minefield on top of a snow covered mountain. One step and a new idea explodes in her head, and then before you know it, she has an avalanche of ideas rushing through h

I love to read. It's a simple fact that has been true since I discovered the worlds of Judy Blume at the age of ten. After years of weekly travel as a consultant implementing computer software into global companies, I ended my nomadic lifestyle to raise my two children. Now, my imagination is my only limitation on where I can go and my writing lets me escape from the daily duties of being a mom, wife, chauffeur, scheduler, cook, teacher, cleaner, and mediator.

If writing wasn't a priority, it would never get done.

Ella Jacobs

Ella Jacobs writes dark and kinky romance. Her books all center around Dom/sub dynamics, ranging from BDSM relationships with light dub con to pitch-black captor/captive stories with Stockholm syndrome and heavy non con.

What all her stories have in common is the emotional depth that makes them feel very raw and real. They will pull at all your heartstrings, maybe gut you and shock you, and take you through the emotional wringer.

Ella lives in Northern Europe, where she has been part of the BDSM community for many years. She lives her own age-gap romance with a stern, loving Dominant, who is always ready for some character analysis and rarely gets jealous when she falls in love with her fictional men.

Besides writing, Ella loves to play music
